Be Grateful

(Album: A Martyr's Reward - 2021)

Playing foul games showed us its a problem when the ref notice
What best soldiers had in common was rhyming, no leftover
Momduke raised a mongoose, I don't fret cobras
In Seedyville if we ain't see you kill, your threat bogus
No need to write how fly I am, you just knew when you see me
Your static can't live or nomadic like those that grew in the teepee
Never cease to eat, rather speak then do it discreetly
No fraudulency, these coordinates had the truest to teach me
No one's too great to be grateful
Seen a lot of hate but ain't hateful
Some girls got hurt, it never worked when they'd do it to keep me
It was the culture, she bacteria, I ain't new to the petri
Son do humble yourself if your pursuit is to reach me
And aye B go and seek arms if you come through to defeat me
Was born strong, thousand ups trust we doing it weekly
Scripts of my pulling [?] assuming is preachy
Trini grandmother, used to sound like she flew in the Geechie
From the bottom, pardon if I come off as you as beneath me
Every number about my hunger is tasteful
Never toss what's on my waist I ain't wasteful
My acts spawn rotten intentions, now I add on jotting ascension
Me and hungry peers risked twenty years to lock in the pensions
Honing raps known as [?], bars made 'em stop in detention
Gotta mention went into it looking for proper redemption
Cleansing what me and my man's intention, Glock and extension
For demons, even my descent won't stop their descension
Local rag [?] doctored suspension
Too savage gathered, thought they'd be watching a lynching
When no one hates, do it graceful
Problems is chronic, socioeconomic, [?]
Taught during years of no support, be self-sufficient
Was chummy bummy, soon as money multiplied I felt division
As cold thugs might have sold drugs, at least never dealt religion
If it suits you to be a pupil, I can help your vision
It's complicated, those incarcerated keep your health in prison
Still here to churn and earn, but learn the only wealth is living
Still here to earn, learn the only wealth is living
Illuminate [?]
[?] in faith
They waiting to replace you
